Kids On Holiday is a song by Animal Collective which appears on their album Sung Tongs. Not to put pressure on the track, but I must say that each of the songs to precede it on the record have been excellent and it has quite a bit to live …

The liner jacket for Barry Manilow: Summer of ‘78 CD is nothing more than a very long credits listing, so that’s a little disappointing. There is a quick few lines signed by Barry on the last page, but that doesn’t help to make the liner worthwhile. When …

Unnatural Selection is a track by Muse which appears on their most recent record, The Resistance. Unnatural Selection is one of the more guitar driven tracks on the entire album which is something that I enjoy a lot about it. One thing about The Resistance is that a lot …

I began to like Coldplay’s music when I first heard of the song “The Scientist” back in 1992 from their second Album, “A Rush of Blood to the Head”.
Coldplay is a British band, having Chris Martin as the vocalist and pianist, Jonny Buckland as lead guitarist, Guy Berryman as …

Graze is a song by Animal Collective and is the opening track to their EP Fall Be Kind. Opening up with a classical music-like tone, Tare soon enters the mix with his vocal performance which is the focal point of the track in my opinion. Aside from some steady …

Essentially, Pat Boone’s Gold Label CD is a sampler of multiple artists and songs that are available through his website. This group of performances represents various styles of music, so it makes for 35-40 minutes of music appreciation. There are even a couple of instrumental hits on …

By the late 80’s, GG Allin’s music has become obsessed with murder, necrophilia, sex, drugs, and et cetera anti-social themes. His voice has become a heavily distorted yell, making his vocals sound like a 60 year smoker yelling. The recording quality has decreased to the point that some songs …

I’ll start by saying there are relatively few contemporary artists, emerging in the past few years, that I’ve taken much interest in. By and large, I’m much more inclined to listen to older records and artists than newer ones-which may be odd, since I’m only 25 and the majority …

Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me) is a cover performed by The Rolling Stones which appears on their album Some Girls. The track is originally done by The Temptations but I’m not too familiar with their version so we’ll see how The Stones do. The track opens up …

“Vomit The Soul” is the 5th song off of Cannibal Corpse infamous album “Butchered at Birth”. This is classic death metal at it’s best. The album in general is genre defining, considering their albums released before this point of time had more thrash metal roots, I think with Butchered …

Firstly, i must admit that i never quite understood the massive amounts of praise that gets heaped on this band by anybody that listens to progressive music in general.
I’ve tried listening to this album dozens of times at different intervals over the last few years to see if …

See The Light is the final track on Green Day’s most recent studio release, 21st Century Breakdown. See The Light starts off with the same acoustic guitar pattern which 21st Century Breakdown, the track, started off with but the tempo is a bit faster I believe. Interesting how Song …

In 1997, Michael O Domhnaill and Windham Hill Records produced “Celtic Christmas III: A Windham Hill Sampler.” The compilation includes twelve favorites from previous Celtic Christmas compositions, such as “The Wexford Carol,” “Circle of Joy,” “A Raven in the Snow,” and “Coinnle an Linoh Losa.” The soothing melodies and …

Black Rain is the Ozzy Osbourne’s 9th studio album. As I know, it is released by Epic Records in 2007. The album became famous with the fact that it is the last album with Zakk Wylde on guitars.
Black rain has nothing to do with all the other albums from …

Overview —“ Sugar, a second music video and single released by System Of A Down for their self-titled debut record is a track that I feel represents the band a bit better than how the first music video, Spiders, did. From the start to the finish of this track …

Emphasizing the importance of Persian culture in her work, the Iranian-born singer calls her second studio album the word “Shabrang” - that was the name of the black horse belonging to Siyâvash from the book of the Shahnameh kings. Siyâvash symbolizes virtue, honesty and courage - being the son …

Lady Gaga is known for being one of the most innovative and provocative artists of this generation. She seems to have revolutionized the industry in a mere matter of months. It isn’t simply about how strange she seems to be in the way she dresses and acts. It is …

I just recently bought a System of A Down’s album Mesmerize. As always, it a test listening and dissecting sonically the band’s music as it defies every categorization and convention thrown at them.
Put the CD in my player, please play and I didn’t get any surprise from the …

The Album: Reflections by After 7 from Sony Songs Inc., was released in 1995. Featuring some memorable tracks that made the love process go alot easier. Throwing this CD in especially on a rainy night with that special someone, or even if you have just lose that someone, you …

I am a huge fan of 80’s idie rock and alternative. Well, indie period. My favorite band is Depechmode, and for the first time I have found something that they can be compared to. Now I’m not saying they are equal, but almost and if you are a Depechmode …

OneRepublic’s “Dreaming Out Loud” is a stellar debut album, in my humble opinion. OneRepublic is a rock band that recently became very popular on the radio, MTV, MySpace, and pretty much everywhere else in the music scene. It came out awhile ago but I just recently picked it up …

One More Cup Of Coffee is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his record Desire. The song opens up with a simple acoustic guitar strumming pattern accompanied by a brief bass fill before a violin comes in which stays constant throughout the majority of this song. Thus …

Sexy Can I by Ray J and Yung Berg is a cool song that you can play all day and just chill ton the beat. One day I listened to this song for three hours straight and I still wanted to hear it again. There are a few cuss …

“Fun, Fun, Fun” is one of the best known of The Beach Boys’ 1960s hit songs, and it has kept what I think is a deserved popularity right up to the present day. It is a short song, at only two and a third minutes in length, and it …

City Of Delusion is a track by Muse which appears on Black Holes And Revelation. Although I do not consider City Of Delusion to be quite as good as some of the other tracks on this record such as Take A Bow or Map Of The Problematique, I certainly …

Politically Uncorrect by Gretchen Wilson and Merle Haggard is a song about how what we stand for is not what majority of the country stands for now days. All anybody cares about is money and not the people who work hard and serve our country. That is true now …

Overview —“ Last Ride In, a music video released by Green Day for their album Nimrod is actually a music video which is set to an instrument, something that I don’t think is extremely common, particularly in the world of punk rock. Now that I think about it, I …

I had been searching for a suitable CD of music to do meditation with, and came across the Reflections of Nature Series at a local store, and was drawn to the Dreamstorm CD after hearing parts of it play. I decided to purchase it for $9.99CDN partially due to …

First heard this album, there is the impression that quite disturbing saturation. Nuance of the song to song, impressed the same and no distinctions, although there are some songs that look outstanding when compared with the other songs. Most of the lyrics in this album talk about women and …

The Story So Far is a song by Flogging Molly which appears on their record Float. The track starts off with the vocals before any other instruments join in which is an interesting start. The instruments come in pretty quickly after though with a tempo that actually isn’t very …

I don’t even know why I ever liked this song. It is pretty ridiculous. I guess at the time I was an emotional wreck and I would listen to anything that made me feel a little bit better about myself. But this song, now that I listen to it …

Casino Boogie is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on their record Exile On Main St. The track opens up with a clean guitar riff which has a blues rhythm to it and once the song goes on for a bit, it becomes obvious that there’s certainly …

This is the band’s debut album, released in 2000 of Ferret Records and produced by drummer Adam Dutkiewicz. The album is a really impressive debt from the band, several of the songs Temple From Within, Without A Name, and Vida Infra appear on the bands future album Alive Or …

This is my favorite post-Beatles solo album. I also really enjoy John’s Plastic Ono Band, and Paul and Linda’s Ram, but All Things Must Pass is so trancendentally amazing that no other release comes close. I have a copy on vinyl that I got from my dad’s old records.
A …

The first time that I even heard of the band “Awolnation” was when someone I knew introduced me to their song “Sail”. Afterwards I haven’t heard much of them on neither the media nor anywhere else, but I still listen to their music from time to time.
In case …

I first heard this CD playing on a machine in a gift shop at callaway Gardens. It is a relaxing ambient type of cd, but melodic and not completely random sounds like some relaxation works are. These songs are performed by Chris Phillips, and is one in the line of …

Death Is Not The End is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his record Down In The Groove. For whatever reason, I went into this track really not expecting all that much but to be honest, I was pretty surprised by the time the song ended. The …

Can’t Stop The Spring is a song by The Flaming Lips and the ninth song on their second release, Oh My Gawd. Returning to the distorted guitar sound present throughout the majority of this record, Can’t Stop The Spring honestly reminds me of a Flaming Lips song which appeared …

Hail to the Thief is a really good record. I personally see this album as a return to form for Radiohead after some slightly dodgy albums, like Kid A and Amnesiac, in particular Amnesiac. The problem with those two albums, from my personal point of view, is that, when …

Gee, i have been listening to so many singer/songwriter type albums this year that it’s getting a little ridiculous. But due to the fact that i try and check out most music that is released i feel there will be many more to come.
One of the latest singer/songwriter …

I was hearing this song on the radio for quite some time and of course it was only natural that it was the song on my last-song-syndrome and I had downloaded this on Limewire and was really enjoying this tune. Nelly did another great job singing this music and …

I really had a difficult time to understand what the first stanza means because I was really baffled on what the singer is trying to tell his audience. But when I played the song again and again, that is what I have understood because I can’t clearly get how …

I can tell you want to fuck by 504 Boyz is a song me and some of my home girls like to listen to all the time because we like the beat and the song is just romantic to us. Just this past Wednesday we were jamming to this …

You’ll love this song forever! Yes, bad pun. But this song is really cool! The song, a little over 6 minutes, is addicting. Blast in on you iPod, hiss a “yes” when you hear it on the radio, play in at your party. I know I’ve been listening to …

I really love Raggaeton music and in my country, Daddy Yankee is hot, damn hot I tell you. I have this CD called Barrio Fino by Daddy Yankee and there are quite a lot of catchy songs. There are 20 over songs and all of them are certainly …

Bad Crumbs is a song by Animal Collective which appears on their second release Danse Manatee. Placing the vocals in the spotlight, Bad Crumbs features several layers of vocals which do an interesting job of creating a somewhat eerie atmosphere, but I find the music behind the vocals to …

A song sang by Westlife, but in my opinion, most likely to have been wrote by their manager, at least he was their manager at the time, Ronan Keating.
The reason why I suggest it was put together by Ronan is the lyrics. This is without doubt a love song, …
